they're not allowed to feel superior to people of colour, homosexuals, women..
I mean they're running out of people they can feel superior to by the mere fact they're born straight, white and male
no wonder they're bitter :D

what on earth has that to do with this thread?

don't think so, he's a revisionist dressed up as defender of masculinity

what we need is a new order with equality for all, men are not and should not feel threatened by that

not surprised he's made a career, him and the whole trump/alt-right surge is all about holding on to the old privileges and superior status for white men

the societal change will continue, bc I don't believe it's driven by the left but it's a natural progression

Arista, afraid we have to agree to disagree
the fact he got the better of the lovely Kathy Newman is neither here or there

I'm not racist, I admire lots of people of different race from me and have many friends too, and I don't believe any race is superior in general.

A racist wouldn't think or say that..

There's no end of them in auctions there always has been i'm afraid - you can't cancel history .

It was made to sell

"I doubt that was the intention"

What a convincing argument about what "maybe" was intended back then despite all of the racism we know went and still goes on.

It was made to sell. Yes, and what? What bearing does that have on whether it's racist or not?

I don't think we should be destroying or wiping out these things. To me it highlights the progress that has been made since those times, and it's a good reminder of how things used to be.

There's a difference between erasing the past and moving on from selling novelty "n" items IMO.

If it's German and military and dates between 1934 and 1945, it's Nazi.

Depends entirely what this "Nazi memorabilia" entails.

It's also a private home and a public shop.

These things are on sale, advertised as "N*****". Clearly not acceptable.

Who are any of us to judge what other people collect. One of my Dad's friends collects Nazi uniform insignia and cap badges. The other collects anything to do with the Nazi party. I can assure you that neither of those people are Nazis. It's Just like people collecting Roman artefacts... although the Romans slaughtered millions. Who should we run our collections past who can judge whether we're a racist or not?
